// Étude by John Armleder is a detailed ink drawing from 1966 that immerses viewers in a labyrinthine structure filled with intricate architectural elements. The artwork features a complex arrangement of Gothic-inspired windows, arches, and ornate details, giving it a surreal, cathedral-like atmosphere. Lines converge and diverge, guiding the eye through a fragmented and dynamic space that appears both familiar and otherworldly. The piece reflects Armleder's early exploration of form and structure, emphasizing the meticulous line work that suggests both architectural precision and a dream-like disintegration. This study in black ink combines meticulous detail with abstract spatial layering, inviting contemplation of structure, decay, and transformation.

What is Colour Field Painting?
Colour Field Painting is an abstract style characterized by large areas of a single color or simple, solid colors. The term was first used in the 1950s to describe the work of three American Abstract Expressionist painters—Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. Their work emphasized the emotional power of color and the creation of vast, meditative spaces through expansive color fields.
